For seed stage startups (< 10 employees) filing H1-Bs, what kind of approval rates have you observed in the last 1-2 years? (Given the USCIS crackdown under the Trump administration).
Are you seeing a change in approval rates after the recent USCIS-ITServe settlement for startup H1Bs?
- proberts 6y agoThe chance of approval really isn't tied to the size or reputation of the company but more to the job and the individual's background and we're seeing high approval rates where the job is clearly an H-1B job (such as a software engineer) and the individual has a related degree (such as computer science) even for small startups. The real challenge comes with filing H-1B petitions for founders/those with significant ownership interests.
